Privacy Policy

This website is statically generated using Astro , meaning when you request a page, you are simply getting raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the hosting server. The website is served using GitHub Pages , which follows GitHub's privacy policy . Aside from GitHub's service, there is no telemetry or tracking implemented into this website. You can view the source code for this website on GitHub .

The static pages that you receive may utilize JavaScript to request additional resources. For example, the homepage makes requests to GitHub's API to receive the number of stars on the repository. These requests are subject to the privacy policies of those services.

Language Server Privacy Policy

The language server has opt-in telemetry that helps improve the lua-language-server by sending usage statistics and exceptions to the development team. Only when a user explicitly opts-in will any data ever be sent. If you choose to enable telemetry, I would be very grateful.

By default, it is disabled but can be enabled by setting telemetry.enable to true. To disable telemetry notifications, set telemetry.enable to false.

Collected Data

Anonymous, non-identifying usage and stack traces from errors is sent to the development team, including:

• A random token, used to count the unique number of users.
• Extension version, e.g. 2.2.0.
• OS, e.g. Windows 64.
• Client name, e.g. Visual Studio Code 1.54.3.
• C++ runtime name, e.g. msvc MSVC STL 202011L.
• C++ compiler name, e.g. msvc MSVC 1928.
• Stack traces of Lua-language-server, relative paths are used, so it does not contain any user information.

Usage of Collected Data

The collected data is reviewed by the development team and used to improve the lua-language-server. The collected data is publicly available .
The collection server's code can be viewed at sumneko/lua-telemetry-server .

In addition to improving the quality of the extension through error reports, the reporting of the number of users will help motivate me to continue developing.
